| description | In this work, we study quantum heat transport in a single trapped ion, driven by laser excitation and coupled to thermal reservoirs operating at different temperatures. Our focus lies in understanding how different laser coupling scenarios impact the system dynamics. As the laser intensity reaches a regime where the electronic and motional degrees of freedom of the ion couple strongly, traditional approaches using phenomenological models for thermal reservoirs become inadequate. Therefore, the adoption of the dressed master equation formalism becomes crucial, enabling a deeper understanding of how distinct laser intensities influence heat transport. Analyzing the heat current within the parameter space defined by detuning and coupling strength, we observe intriguing circular patterns that are influenced by the vibrational frequency of the ion and laser parameters and reveal nuanced relationships between heat transport and coherence, as well as phenomena such as negative differential heat conductivity and heat rectification, offering insights into the thermal properties of this essential quantum technology setup. |
